1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in the production of culture pearls; and comprises a method consisting of taking oil a very small piece of the mantle with epithelium of a living pearl 5 .oyster, inserting the same into the body of the 16 of the mantle with epithelium used.
In. the accompanying drawing: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a mantle piece cutting and inserting apparatus, partly in section. I
Fig. 2 is an elevation'of a tool to be used in 2 co-operation with the mantle piece cutting and inserting apparatus.
Fig. 3 is a view illustrating a manner for inserting a small piece of the mantle with epithelium of pearl oyster into the'body thereof.
26 Referring now to the drawing, the mantle piece cutting and inserting apparatus comprises a tube 1 with a cutter end 2 of suitable material, and
a piston 3 with a handle 4, movable in the tube, as shown in Fig. 1 and the tool comprises a spoon- 80 shaped'member i with a handle 6, .as shown in Pig. 2;
In my method, a small piece of a certain size of the mantle with epithelium of a living pearl oyster is cut oil, by inserting the spoon-shaped 35 member of the tool under the part of the mantle to be cut oil and by vertically applying and pressing the cutter end 2 oi. said apparatus on the part of the mantle to be cut oi'l to co-operate with the spoon member 5, the piston 3 previously being 3' moved to a suitable extent away from the cutter end 2 by means of the handle 4. Then the small piece of the mantle-with epithelium which is cut oil and held by the apparatus is inserted into a suitable portion of the living pearl oyster-from which the small piece of the mantle is cut oil, or 5 other living pearl oyster; by pushing forward the piston 3 by means of the handle 4, in such a manner as shown in Fig, 3, and then a liquid includinga soluble calcium salt such as calcium chloride and vitamin D is injected into the body of the animal of the pearl oyster. If -provitamin D, such as ergosterine is used, it may be changed to vitamin D by'exposing toultra-violet rays before injection with the calcium salt.
Pearl oysters thus treatedare kept in a basket 1a suspended in sea water as usual, and then pearls will be formed owing" to the inserted small piece of the mantle with epithelium and the formation will be promoted owing to the injected liquid including a soluble calcium salt and vitamin D. The injection of a liquid including a soluble calcium salt and vitamin D may be given occasionally when the basket containing pearl oysters is pulled up out of water for inspection and scraping ofi deleterious matters such as sea-weeds and barnacles'which hinder complete development or growth of the pearl-oysters. According to the method. so excellent pearls as be substantially indistinguishable from the natural pearls can be obtained. 80
- I claim: s A method oi producing culture pearls bearing 7 a close resemblance to natural pearls which consists in cutting oil a small piece of the mantle with epithelium of a living pearl oyster, inserting said small piece into the body of.-a living pearl oyster; injecting a liquid containing a soluble calciumsalt 'andvitamin D into the. bodyand I culturing the treated pearl oyster in sea water.
